Supporting the Course
You have several assignments to complete for this class. This handout will provide some enhancements to your course syllabus of resources that will support individual work and assignments. You will find resources located at both the Langson Library and the Ayala Science Library, with many available online as long as you use VPN when connecting from off-campus.
I am very willing to meet with you about your research papers and look forward to your contacting me for an appointment. My contact information is on the right side-bar.
1. Information about local planning meetings - several options
- County Level - check out the Orange County Government Information Subject Page under Departments & Agencies and select Planning - the tab "Hearings and Meetings" takes you to the Committee Page and if you select or click on any of those listed there will be a tab section "Schedules" and agendas and minutes are posted, although many are dreadfully out of date
- for specific city planning commission meetings - go to roster of OC cities and select the city you want and then drill down to the Planning Commission - some have links or tabs for calendars which include all council, commission meetings and special task force meetings, others have it listed under Departments and then list all their open meetings. Again, information varies and the currency of agendas and minutes is equally undependable. You can also call the Department or Commission directly and inquire.
- for Coastal Commission, Association of Governments, Transportation, Air Quality and other regional Governing Board meeting schedules and information, check the websites or contact the offices by phone.
2. Compile summaries of readings - for books you may find it insightful to read some of the reviews submitted by other scholars in the literature. The major indexing tools that cover these reviews are:
3. Major Research Papers - go to tabs for Conducting Literature Reviews and Special Resources
